apologies for cross posting:
I've been commissioned along with a team of colleagues to undertake a sector
wide research study into the use of and issues surrounding controlled
vocabularies. The research is looking at the education sector and beyond;
part of my role is in the area of local government.
The broad topics to be covered include:
- what vocabularies are in use
- who owns the vocabularies
- what are the issues associated with management and control
- how are they managed?
- attitudes and opinions towards a centralised vocabulary management system
- perceptions of the benefits
- vision for the future
- alternatives to controlled vocabularies such as folksonomies
Data is being gathered via interview and literature research, which will
also extend to include the international landscape as well as other
non-education UK government sectors.
If you have any thoughts or comments please get in touch
